MEMORIAL: Memorial Garden

LOCATION: Above the Torrens Parade Ground along the back of the Governors Domain wall from Kintore Avenue to King William Street

DESCRIPTION: Pathway of Honour. The pathway contains 23 monuments, 22 with bronze plaques affixed to cement or granite blocks; several have two plaques. The main plaques are set on an angled face. One monument, the SAS, is a cut and polished black granite boulder with brass plaques affixed to the face.
